What Happened
Over the past two Grands Prix, Ferrari has executed very well, optimizing every bit of performance from the sensitive SF-26 car. Leclerc noted that even a small misalignment makes a big difference on track. The team's recent success has been built on this meticulous approach.
“Our strength is probably the balance and grip we have through the corners, which is important at a circuit like this. We might be a little bit closer, but at the end of the day it's all about the execution. There's always noise around the team, but we have to put all our energy into what matters most, and with these cars preparation is absolutely crucial.”
Leclerc also highlighted that the new generation of F1 cars demands even closer collaboration between drivers and engineers. Understanding the source of performance is more complex, so open-mindedness and teamwork with the factory are essential.
